Women's hockey team secures bronze

By Alyson Brodsy and Larry Lage · Tuesday, Feb. 21,2006 12:56 a.m.

TURIN, Italy -- Katie King wishes she could've thrown her gloves in the air like a graduation cap and jumped into a pile of her teammates on the ice. Instead, she and the rest of the U.S. women's hockey team had to settle for some hugs -- and a bronze medal. King scored two of her three goals in the first period to give the Americans a three-goal lead and they glided to a 4-0 victory over Finland on Monday, playing in a third-place game they would've rather watched on TV from their dressing room.

Americans garner silver medal in ice dancing

By Alyson Brodsy and Barry Wilner · Tuesday, Feb. 21,2006 12:54 a.m.

TURIN, Italy -- At last, a figure skating medal for the United States -- in ice dancing, of all things. And yet another Olympic gold for Russia. Tanith Belbin and partner Ben Agosto snapped the U.S. medals drought in figure skating with a silver Monday night. They were behind Tatiana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, who gave Russia a gold medal hat trick -- pairs, men's and dance. No nation has swept the four skating events in one games, and Russian Irina Slutskaya is favored in the women's competition.

IU leaves Mexico tourney as runner-up to Houston

By Kevin Kane · Tuesday, Feb. 21,2006 12:50 a.m.

The men's golf team concluded play in the Club de Golf Santa Anita-North Texas Classic Monday afternoon with its best performance of the 2005-06 campaign, but one team remained ahead of IU on the leaderboard. The University of Houston left Guadalajara, Mexico, as the tournament champion, finishing first out of 11 teams at one over par with a score of 865. IU finished three strokes behind, followed by Southern Louisiana at four strokes back. The Cougars were able to break away from IU and the Southern Louisiana with whom they were tied for first entering the final round. The Hoosiers suffered a flat start to the tournament, ending the first round 11 shots over par at 297. However, during the second round later that day, IU proved itself to still be a threat to win.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- With less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation Sunday, Purdue had victory in its grasp. Seconds later, IU senior guard Cyndi Valentin yanked it away.

Worriers

By Andy Romey · Sunday, Feb. 19,2006 11:38 p.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- With Sunday's loss at Illinois, the Hoosiers are just two road games away from a feat that hasn't been accomplished since 1970. If IU loses in the remaining two road contests, it would be the first time since the 1969-70 season the Hoosiers have gone winless on the road in conference play. Against Illinois, the story of missed layups, lack of presence on the boards and poor shot selection was a familiar one as the Hoosiers dropped another game, 70-58.

End game

By Eamonn Brennan · Friday, Feb. 17,2006 1 a.m.

The IU basketball family needs to unite. And Mike Davis says he can't do it. At the end of a turbulent, rumor-filled week, IU coach Mike Davis made his resignation official Thursday, confirming reports that he had arranged a contract buyout with IU President Adam Herbert earlier in the week. Any speculation about Davis' status as IU's head basketball coach was settled at the press conference, as Herbert, IU Athletics Director Rick Greenspan and the embattled but upbeat coach took to the podium in Assembly Hall's basketball press room. "I just felt like it was time for the former players, the fans, the alumni and anyone who loves Indiana basketball to be a part of Indiana basketball again," Davis said. "This is a great day for Indiana basketball. Trust me, it is."

Community voices strong opinions on IU coach

By Ben Woodson · Friday, Feb. 17,2006 12:48 a.m.

Some Bloomington residents gathering at local watering holes for happy hour had strong opinions about the resignation of IU men's basketball coach Mike Davis. Most of them thought Davis -- following the legacy of former IU men's basketball coach Bobby Knight -- never had a chance at IU. Davis just didn't have the experience to live up to high expectations of the demanding IU fans, some said.

Open Opportunity

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Sanserino · Friday, Feb. 17,2006 12:19 a.m.

THE FAVORITE: STEVE ALFORD | IOWA Fueled by Davis' suggestion that IU fans need "one of their own" two days after the Hoosiers lost to Iowa, the Hawkeyes' basketball coach tops the growing list of potential replacements. Alford, a native of Franklin, Ind., and former Indiana Mr. Basketball, led IU to its last NCAA Championship in 1987. In his seventh season in Iowa City, Alford's team is currently in first place in the Big Ten. Though Alford's name has been widely mentioned, the coach said he is centered on this season with the Hawkeyes. "My complete focus and efforts are to help my team win a Big Ten Championship," Alford said in a statement. "That's my only concern."

When the IU women's basketball team (14-10, 8-5 Big Ten) arrives in West Lafayette for Sunday's matchup with No. 10 Purdue, it will be looking for more than just an ordinary conference win. As the two rivals face off, bragging rights in the state of Indiana will be on the table. On Jan. 5, the Boilermakers escaped Assembly Hall with a narrow overtime victory. After losing a rivalry game on their home court, the Hoosiers are ready to return the favor.
